Chandni Machines has scheduled an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM) on July 23, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. IST via video conference. Shareholders will vote on the alteration of the Object Clause of the Memorandum of Association (MOA) to facilitate expansion into manufacturing, marine, and chemical trading sectors. The meeting will also seek approval for the variation in the utilisation of unutilised proceeds amounting to ₹29.09 crore raised through a preferential issue.
The Board of Directors approved the insertion of sub-clauses 5, 6, 7, and 8 under the Main Objects Clause on June 18 and June 24, 2026. These alterations aim to diversify business activities amid challenges in the existing second-hand machinery trade due to geopolitical uncertainties and supply chain disruptions.
Strategic Expansion
The proposed alterations to the MOA outline a significant diversification of business activities. The approved objects include:
- Manufacturing: Producing aluminium, zinc, metal ingots, and aerospace engineering components.
- Infrastructure: Establishing manufacturing facilities in Gujarat or other states in India.
- Marine and Shipbuilding: Undertaking repair, maintenance, and engineering services for ships, including naval and defence shipbuilding activities such as constructing warships and patrol boats.
- Chemicals Trading: Dealing in industrial chemicals, petroleum products, lubricants, and related derivatives.
Reallocation of Preferential Issue Proceeds
Shareholders will also consider a special resolution to vary the objects of the preferential allotment made on January 30, 2026. The company raised ₹41.01 crore through the issuance of 38,10,900 equity shares and 40,00,000 convertible warrants at ₹52.50 per share. The issue was undersubscribed compared to the initially approved target of ₹42.97 crore.
The Board proposes to reallocate the unutilised proceeds of ₹29.09 crore. The allocation for 'Investment in subsidiaries and strategic acquisitions' amounting to ₹5.00 crore has been withdrawn. Funds will be redirected towards enhanced working capital requirements and capital expenditure for the new business lines proposed under the MOA alteration.
| Object of Issue | Amount Approved (₹ Crore) | Proposed Allocation (₹ Crore) | Balance Available (₹ Crore) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capital expenditure and capacity enhancement | 15.00 | 15.00 | 12.04 |
